TDS Martial Arts Programs for Children

Dear Parent:

The fact that you are reading this tells me you want the very best for your child. So how do you go about preparing them for the challenges of our fast paced 21st Century? How do you teach them how to have a positive attitude, to be self motivated, to set and attain goals and to learn how to concentrate and focus? This is no easy task as this specialized type of education is not taught in our schools. It is not taught on our football, baseball or soccer fields either. Unfortunately it's not even being taught in our community organizations or religious groups. These life skills, if taught to children at a young age, can have a tremendous impact on the outcome of their lives and how successful they become.

During the many years that I have been training and teaching martial arts I have seen countless numbers of young boys and girls who were very shy and lacked anything that resembled self confidence. Some of them could not focus or concentrate for more than a few seconds at a time. Others were overweight or were slower learners than their peers. Many of these children were not doing very well in school or in social situations because of their lack of self confidence.I know that with the right direction and training their lives can be changed significantly for the better. I made it my goal many years ago that we would teach much more than just kicking and punching. That our organization would specialize in personal development. In teaching life skills that would make a difference.We have focused our entire program around this premise. Yes, I believe we teach the best in martial arts training, but that is not enough. Our entire children's curriculum is centered around what we call the Principles of the Black Belt.

Over the years, I have seen thousands of children benefit from our approach to teaching martial arts:

• Overweight children who lost a few pounds through self discipline and exercise gained tremendous amounts of self esteem and self confidence.
  
  
• Smart children, who were bored in school, learned to set goals and reach higher.
  
  
• Shy children were brought out of their shell and learned to enjoy life.
  
  
• Overactive children learned to channel their energy and focus their attention.
  
  

They say that once you learn to ride a bike that you never forget. Likewise, the skills and habits of success, once learned, become a part of your child. Theirs forever to achieve, grow and improve. I have witnessed this through thousands of children who have experienced our programs. I have had countless parents tell me their child is a different child after only a short time at the studio. Parents, teachers, and principals report a growth in confidence, improved self-discipline, growth in leadership skills, better grades in school and on and on.

What better gift to give your child than to empower them with greater self esteem, confidence, focus and concentration. At TDS we have developed a program which combines physical training with life skills development. Our belt promotion system is based on the principal of steady consistent improvement. Self confidence and improved self esteem are developed through a series of winning experiences. This is how it works.

• Set a goal
  
  
• Have a plan
  
  
• Work hard towards it's achievement
  
  
• Persevere until you reach the goal
  
  
• Set higher goal
  
  

Of course the key is to make sure they succeed. How? We have a curriculum that is divided into small, achievable goals. When you set a goal, then work for it and achieve it, you begin to believe in yourself. Do that a few times and a person begins to feel successful.

It is constantly stressed to all students that karate skills require them never to be abusive or offensive and are only for use defensively.
